  • Enhancing the natural spaces around us. Mother Earth Love.

    Dear friend,

    Look at the Earth for your good deed today. Even if you have already performed one good deed today, there is always room and need for more kindness, and we can never get too much good karma! I have a new goal, friend, and that is to enhance the natural spaces around me. I’m sharing this not only with the intention to inspire someone to do the same but also as a reminder to self and writing this works as intention setting.

    Whenever I have to be somewhere not for fun, such as for work, school, business, at the doctor, legal matters, etc. on any break I have, I connect with nature. I don’t do this as intentionally on my days off when I’m hanging out with my family in the safety of my house. As I reflect on this, this new me (I was just renewed) is able and happy to intentionally connect with nature at home.

    This post is not about gardening. Instead, I want to talk about already established natural spaces that exist all around us, such as parks and public gardens, etc.

    There is a tiny park behind my work. It’s a sweet little park with lots of flowers, about 15 trees, and green grass, which is uncommon in the AZ desert where I live, so it’s worth mentioning.

    This is a new dream job I manifested in divine timing, and it’ll be 3 months on 8/10 (yes, during the powerful 888 Lions gate portal, did I mention divine timing?) One of the most amazing things about this job is the park! It’s the little things, friend! Meet the friend I made at this park, my tree friend.

    I have been hanging out with trees for a long time. Even before I had my spiritual awakening, I was speaking for the trees. I was always a tree hugger, but for the last three years, I have been practicing connecting with the spirit of the trees. I had never heard one (it’s a practice), but it’s the most natural, relaxing, easy thing I know how to do.

    An easy way to connect to nature is to touch a tree. If there are people around and hugging the tree 😆 🤣 😂 literally feels weird, sit against the tree, lean against it, and/or be in its shade. To level up the practice, use your mind. Acknowledge the trees. Once this is not weird, acknowledge the spirit of the trees. You might be surprised to feel a deep relaxation. It’s easier than meditation, but you get a similar feeling.

    Eventually, you might feel that you have made friends with a tree. This is how I feel now to this beautiful tree I’m sitting in front of. Is making friends with a tree just plain weird for you? What is a friend? Friends spend time together. Friends hold space for each other. Friends support each other. Friends make each other feel good. Friends do good things for each other. A tree can, in fact, do all those things. Just like with an animal such as a human being or a dog, it might take time, or you might just resonate with the spirit of this stranger with the potential to become a friend. Weird is attractive. Don’t fear being a weirdo!

    Eve holds a pinecone, one of her favorite things to collect, and she has many decorating her home. PS, it was 111-114 degrees and has been hotter. It does not get in Eve’s way of getting fresh air and hanging out with the trees.

    I have been following new witch YouTubers. No, I’m not a witch, but I like to watch them. And there’s a new witch I followed, The Witch of Wonderlust. Interestingly enough, she talked about talking to trees on a podcast, which was interesting to me, and I followed her. Below, I have linked one of her videos, which I syncronistically found while writing this post. In this video, she talked about the same exact thing I’m doing now.

    Witch of Wonderlust: How to connect to local spirits.

    In this video, she talked about the exact thing I’ve been doing, something I’ve intended to do for a long time. Picking up trash while out in nature. I took her advice from the first video I watched her in when she talked about talking to the tree spirits. I talked to this tree friend of mine, and I started getting funny synchronicities, which I took as the tree responding.

    I felt that the tree was asking me to pick up a bunch of trash left around it, and I did. Now, every day I walk around, I pick up a piece of trash at least. I will start carrying around trash bags like Wonderlust does in thar video. And, since this is my journal, I’ll speak about this again.

    Thank you for reading, and if you feel called, pick up the next piece of trash you find in nature.

    Thank you and blessings to you

  • Sex. Don’t Fake Till You Make it. Do this instead…

    TRIGGER ALERT!!! This post could trigger sexual trauma and open unhealed wounds. I intend this brings you. healing. If you are aware of unhealed sexual trauma, don’t read this, instead message me through the Contact tool under Menu.

    “Fake it till you make it”

    Obviously, when we fake it, we are not being vulnerable, we’re not honestly showing our struggle, or we don’t know how to show our learning progress. Perhaps we feel embarrassed and  though we don’t talk about this, there’s a fake element to faking it.

    Some would fake it to appear smarter, more able to learn or perform, to appear “better” than they feel they are. This, I believe, stems from feeling inadequate, insecure, or not enough. This is, in my humble opinion, putting on a false mask that makes you appear able to do what you’re faking while buying you time to learn at a slower pace.

    The point we miss is that we’re all different and learning is a process. It’s obviously not only ok but expected to not know what you’re learning on day 1. There’s studying and practicing before we’re successful in whatever we’re learning and this includes sex. We will not be a sex god or goddess on day 1! Nor should we be.

    In sex, what does it mean to fake it?

    We fake it when we pretend to be enjoying ourselves during sex. We might act as if we had an orgasm, making the noises and movements that we believe we would make if we were having a real orgasm. We might vocalize, some might scream or say they’re having an orgasm like we see on the movies.

    In pretending to be enjoying ourselves, our partner would falsely believe that they are more able than they are to basically get us off sexually. Typically, when our partner has an amazing time while we have sex, we feel great about ourselves and therefore our self esteem is heightened. When we fake it, our partner might think they’re able to give us an orgasm when in truth they’re unable to or we’re not able to have an orgasm ourselves regardless of their ability.

    Typically and sadly, women fake orgasms. Nowadays, it’s well known that only a small percentage of women can actually achieve an orgasmic reaction to vaginal sex only. Many of us need much more than just vaginal sex to achieve it, some of us have never had one. Some of us, lucky ones, will find a special person later on who will be so incredible that we will finally reach the desired outcome.

    When we fake it, we exaggerate these noises and movements and if we don’t know what an orgasm really feels like, we might look and/ or feel fake. Therefore many are aware that their partner can fake it or might doubt their partner’s overt reactions! Watch out because if you get caught faking it, this might cause your partner’s self esteem to drop as if they’re unable to bring you to the gates of heaven through that most elusive female orgasm and they might be able to give you one if they just knew what to give you and how.

    Why do we fake it?

    I believe that some people might not even realize they are faking it, some people might think that they’re meant to make a bunch of noise or do certain things that might indicate they’re having a great time. It doesn’t help that porn is readily available for free and even movies paint a picture about sex that’s unreal, unnatural, and fake. It also doesn’t help that we’re exposed to that perversion of lovemaking early on. We seem to forget that is acting and obviously not real, and if we imitate it, we might not meet our expectations and/ or our partner’s expectations.

    People imitate the actions of movie stars, who are clearly acting, and not having a real orgasm for several reasons. It might look sexy from the outside looking in but reminder!!! that’s not what sex is like. When we engage in sex, we’re in the inside experiencing, not on the outside looking in! When we experience, we are not making a show for outsiders who can’t feel the act and our partner can feel us so there’s no need to put on a show.

    There’s probably many different reasons why people fake it. Certainly, a reason is we want to please our partner. We might feel that our partner wants the hot porn star, yet, in faking an orgasm, we’re not giving our partner the choice to please us. In truth, if our partner wants some hot movie star, then perhaps this is not the article for you, or if you’re in a soulmate or twin flame relationship, then perhaps you’re out of alignment, I’ve been there too! Finally, if you have been faking it, your partner might think it’s hot because it looks like a movie, yet they might be deprived of giving you the real experience.

    I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never faked it! Ever. First of all, I don’t believe in giving a mediocre partner a sense that they are able to bring me to an orgasm! And you might guess that I have indeed had sex with a mediocre partner and it’s true, I’m in the process of forgiving myself. An orgasm is something that I’ve only been able to achieve with my beloved, the one I call my twin flame, my one true love. It’s not something a woman achieves with anyone.

    Don’t Fake it. Instead do this.

    Females rejoice! We really have it good in sex! We don’t have the pressure males have when it comes to having one massive orgasm where if they fail to have one, they’ll have the hated “blue balls”. The universe blessed us with the incredible ability to have multiple orgasms, even to enjoy orgasm after orgasm and feel like the sex act was one massive orgasm, we have the ability to orgasm from the beginning to the end of the sexual encounter. We’re the orgasm queens and goddesses on this planet. So first of all relax and have fun with this. It can be a project, a self growth goal, a quest even, or something like a new year resolution or goal.

    But even if we’re unable to ask about what we need (I totally understand) there’s really no need to act as if we’re having an orgasm we’re not having and the joke is on us if we make our partner believe we love something we don’t even like and then we get that treatment daily! Instead start little by little indicating what you do love, whether it’s a kiss, a touch, a sight that is delightful. There’s always something truly pleasing if you are in a committed relationship. Our partners respond to what we love by paying close attention to our response and giving us more of what they believe we love and this is why you should not fake it if you want a truly enjoyable and healthy sex life.

    So don’t fake it! If you can, speak up. If you can’t speak up, fantasize! It’s a simple way to manifest what you truly desire. Well, I came to realize after years of fantasizing, that fantasies are not private at all, fantasies are energy that gets shared, just like thoughts are. What you’re fantasizing about, those thoughts are interacting with your partner! Also because when you fantasize, you’re working yourself closer to the place you need to be to reach the desired orgasm. Personally, when I needed to warm up, I go to my special place (in my head) which is our first night together, the night I had my first orgasm, I call this my master fantasy.

    What to do instead of faking it. Tips and tricks.

    • Relax and have fun
    • Be honest and vulnerable
    • Don’t make them think you love something you don’t love
    • Fantasize about what you want in bed
    • Create a master fantasy (for me it’s my first night with my beloved)
    • Respond to what you love in the natural way your body responds
    • Don’t block the natural response: scream or moan if you feel you should, be quiet if that’s more natural. If you’re having a full on body response and start shaking uncontrollably, let that be, and if your body tenses up, then allow that too. If you can speak, say their name or the expression that comes most naturally, and if it’s not possible to say anything, don’t force it. There’s no one size fits all.
    • Don’t watch porn or movies about sex to learn. No judgement if you do or have but figure out your own personal response rather than imitating acting from a movie.
    • Take charge and do what you love most
    • Experiment! You might enjoy even some things you thought you didn’t like

    The spiritual significance of faking it

    My beloved is Scorpio and don’t fake it with Scorpio because not only is Scorpio more than able to “get you off” but they can feel you and when they figure out you have been faking it, they might feel betrayed. Don’t lie to Scorpio! They would question why you did it and they will wonder what else you have been faking. Additionally, they might feel as though you are fake or not trustworthy.

    Spiritually speaking, and for those of us who believe in manifestation, it is possible that we’re manifesting what we don’t love most by faking an orgasm. We might be mistakenly manifesting  not our highest and most rewarding sex life. Additionally, it feels that by faking it, we’re aligning to something that’s not our highest vibe. Perhaps, we have mistakenly calibrated to a lower vibe, perhaps we’ve even calibrated to some perverted porn vibe. And if any perverted vibes have entered our reality, it’s entirely possible that lower, even dark energies (even entities) are feeding off our sexual energy which feels to be our highest creation energy.

    This is nothing to be feared and probably most of us have at some point picked up lower sex vibes. We could have picked up some lower sex vibes from friends, past lovers, abuse, trauma, karma, ancestral energy, curses, or by choosing/ accepting this energy by mistake. I understand, for some, this is crazy superstition but if you read this blog, does that resonate?

    Is it making love if I fake it?

    When we make love we are vulnerable and share ourselves completely with a willing and loving partner. This is the opposite of faking it. Sex can be faked but lovemaking is the real thing.

    If you’re lucky enough to have sex with your twin flame, don’t fake it.

    If you are lucky enough to have sex with your twin flame, don’t fake it! It is a great honor to actually engage in this way with your twin and don’t taint the energy with fake vibes! This might sound harsh but if you’re interested in having an honest relationship with your twin, then please engage with complete honesty. It could be considered running (and us twins don’t like that) from ourselves…

    Respectfully and never in judgement,

    with Love and light,

    Eve

  • Full Moon on Leo. Twin Flame Lovestars Podcast.

    Happy full moon dear friends,

    We have a full moon on Leo today. This could be excellent for us, we could feel like Lions and lionesses, we could shower someone in attention or receive lots of attention, or we could become the life of this party! Heart activations occurring during this time. This is a powerful moon during this as 222 portal.

    Podcasts where I talked about this full moon:

    Moon Book. Lunar Magic to Change Your Life by Sarah Faith Gottesdiener

    I took my children to the library not expecting to get a book for myself. Then I saw a new book on display about witchcraft and decided to borrow it. Then I looked through the adult non fiction section and found this moon book and borrowed it so I could share with you.

    What I learned so far from this book is that the moon is full for such a tiny amount of time and the energy is available 2 days before and 2 days after, so instead of obsessing over having a ritual on full moon day as I have in the past, it’s best to go through the full moon and see what signs and synchronicities we received, see what we can learn and then work on the full moon ritual after we have processed this information during the next two days after the full moon.

    Today I learned that to avoid burnout during the full moon, it’s best to prepare ahead of time such as to meal prep the week before, to schedule time off, to ensure that we are not very busy on a week or a day or a couple of days where we know we will not be sleeping well and we will be feeling sleepy as I feel today and I typically feel sleepy and full moon days because I am not sleeping well enough. I just learned this today and will be doing this starting next month, this month is already too late for example I left some school work that I was going to help my youngest school daughter with for the day before the full moon, I should have planned ahead and finished this at least a full two days prior. Another idea I got from reading this was to do laundry the previous week, have the house clean going into the full moon week, have a movie night!

    Blessings for you on this full 🌕 and rest as much as you can.

    Much love,

    Eve

  • Meaning of sunflowers. Greek myth

    Meaning of sunflowers. Greek myth

    Dear Lovestar,

    Sunflowers are not only pretty and delightful, but they also have healing properties.

    Healing Properties

    Sunflower is an expectorant, it’s also used to aid with coughs and colds, stomach issues, even nosebleeds. It’s very good for the kidneys. Don’t forget the seeds are very nutritional as well.

    Spiritual Meaning

    What is the meaning of sunflowers? Asked someone in my twin flame Lovestars group on Telegram. I had looked while I had my 2020 sunflower, I even made a post about the meaning of flowers in dreams, see the link to that post below. On this post I also share the picture of the original mother sunflower from 2020, the one we never planted. Then I looked at the meaning of sunflowers again.

    https://loveandlight888.art.blog/2020/05/03/meaning-of-sunflowers/

    Synchronistically, while I was looking for the meaning of sunflowers, one of my daughters showed me a cutout from a magazine with different bouquets and the meanings of the flowers and of course the first bouquet had as the main flower sunflowers, it was so amazing.

    For giving flower bouquets, sunflowers say “BE STRONG” and were placed in the get well bouquet! I was impressed because I’ve needed the sunflower strength during this rough time when my 2021 sunflowers have been enjoying my garden. I’ve been going through (not over yet) a miscarriage and the worse time, I have hit rock bottom and therefore needed to feel the sunflower strength and the healing bouquet. I’m so grateful for them.


    Greek Myth of Apollo and Clytie:

    Clytie was a sea nymph who loved Apollo and at first, Apollo loved her, later though, he fell for another. Clytie became so jealous, she told the other woman’s father and her father buried her alive. Apollo then turned Clytie into a flower 🌻 but she loved him so much that she still followed Apollo everyday and, according to the ancient Greeks, this is why sunflowers look at the sun.

    Sunflower meanings: because of the Apollo Clytie myth, sunflowers are seen as a sign of adoration and loyalty (twin flame flower all the way, in my case, my 2020 sunflower was a present from my twin’s soul or the spirirs that surround us, it was a divine, magical event that was very meaningful in my twin flame universe). I’m his sunflower and he’s my sun, I just texted my twin!

    Love Poem From Clytie to Helios

    Helios, the sun god, is my love.
    He had loved me long before;
    His love was never moderate.
    Were my charms not enough
    For the shimmering sun god?
    Dear goddess Aphrodite,
    Am I out of grace? Am I to blame?
    Am I jealous? I desire you always.
    Your cold gaze looked away
    And found love elsewhere,
    Leaving me in so much pain.
    I told her father; now she’s dead.
    A dead girl cannot sway
    The only one who is my fate.
    But, beloved, why are you angry?
    Look my way, grace me again:
    Remember my youth on your bed,
    The one who truly loves you,
    The one who always follows you,
    Grant me your gaze once again,
    Dear beloved sun of my life.
    Every day I follow your sunrays,
    Sunny, cloudy, under rain.
    My sustenance, your love rays;
    At night, I mourn.

    In China sunflowers mean good luck, long life.

    Sunflowers symbolize faith and are used in different religions and faiths mainly because of their resemblance to the sun, we know that the sun blesses us and helps us ascend, so sunflowers are reminders to look at the light always.

    Oshun’s Flower

    In Santeria which is observed in Cuba where I’m from but originated in Africa and was brought to America by slaves, there’s the river goddess, Oshun. The best offering to Oshun is sunflowers, which are observed as her flower.

    Oshun is a fearless and fun super powerful divine feminine. Oshun is also dressed in yellow as this is her color. Sunflowers represent  empowerment and Oshun is most empowering, her daughters are very empowered.

    In native American cultures sunflowers mean harvest and bounty.

    The Incas used sunflowers to represent their Sun God and their priestesses wore them on their hair.

    Meaning of the color yellow

    We cannot talk about sunflowers and ignore their lovely yellow color. Yellow flowers have become my favorite flower since the birth of my sunflower in 2020 and also I realized that I needed yellow for my third chakra. The color yellow symbolizes friendship, vitality, and intelligence.

    Third chakra: the third chakra’s color is yellow 💛 and being exposed to this color can help balance it. It is important to balance this chakra because it is our center of personal power. In my own healing I was guided first to use the color orange and then to use the yellow color.

    Sunflowers, the Eve garden.

    Sunflowers have become my favorite flower since 2020. What’s interesting is I didn’t have a favorite flower before 2020, even though I loved all flowers. Sunflowers 🌻 grew where I grew up too, and I remember a lovely sunflower garden close to my childhood home. Now, I have my own beautiful sunflowers growing in my daughters’ princess garden. See the video of our new sunflowers through the link below.

    In 2020 a sunflower grew in my garden without being planted, back then, I saw it as a magical sunflower and figured it was a sign from my twin flame, I saved the seeds  and planted them in 2021, these are the flowers that grew from those seeds. The original “mother” sunflower 🌻 opened on 4/4/2020 (444 portal) it was a big deal in my life. This was a profound and very spiritual time for me, and I was learning how to connect with my twin flame’s higher self, but before I opened up and truly connected which happened during the 888 portal 2020. Shortly before the sunflower opened in 2020 the pandemic had started and I started this blog around that time. I remember blogging about my sunflower 🌻 in 2020.

    I’m so grateful for my garden! My tomatoes and corn are doing great for the first time!

    With much love,

    Eve

    Gratitude Challenge

    It’s 11:11 PM and that counts as Saturday for me, so left me tell you what I am grateful for today, it has been a great day!

    Sodalite Heart and crystal

    I’m so grateful for my sodalite crystal heart, it’s not brand new anymore but I’m  now learning how to use it and the properties and uses. I am grateful with my meditation with this Heart this morning. I’m also very grateful for the bath I took in the morning.

    I went to a new location of my old doctor today, I’m very grateful that it went very great. I took my Sodalite heart and my lavender essential oil, I even did a quick meditation while waiting in my room, I went through tests (because I’m pregnant) and I didn’t even feel a thing.

    I’m really grateful for new growth in my garden, I have baby plants coming up and new flowers, I was so excited I spent a lot of time there. I’m also grateful I just got my shipment of garden food, I’ll be upping my game by next week.

    I’m grateful that it’s the weekend and what great weather I had! Again, it was just an amazing day.

    Cool Etsy dagger

    Awesome rocks, not sure what they are but they’re sure beautiful, both of these were presents from my beloved.

    Finally, before it turns midnight, I’m grateful for how strong and healthy I’m feeling, being pregnant, I’m coming from a month of feeling sick and wanting to sleep all day long so it’s been awesome and I think it’s because I’ve been using my new essential oils for 2 days and I’ve been using my healing crystals.

    I’m grateful to hat you’re here reading this and also I’m excited for the new moon coming up!

    Growing Veggies In My Backyard. Beginner Gardener.

    My family ❤️ veggies so we started growing them. Pictured is an eggplant and 🍅 sandwich. The 🍆 is from a plant in my yard, the 🍅, I bought. We loved it.

    This is the second year this awesome plant has been in our garden and it’s gotten so much better! The first time around, it got bugs and almost died. We treated the bugs with soap water since we are keeping our garden organic.

    After the plant was almost decimated, we cut it back and we were delighted to see it grow back this year.

    The plant has many eggplants and although kind of small, they are delicious and my family loved them including the baby 😍. I got my wish to give the baby my homegrown veggies before anything else.

    In these quarantine times, gardening is my new nature walks, hiking, going out and everything in between.

    Eat your veggies 😋 if you’d like of course 😉 but when you do, do it with love ❤️🍅🍆🌻🦋🐦
